Answer

Surfaces are not evenly spaced.

Work Step by Step

We know , $V = \frac{kq}{r}$ $\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta r} = kq (\frac{\Delta r^{-1}}{\Delta r})$ $\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta r} = - \frac{kq}{r^{2}}$ Since $\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta r} $ is not constant exponential, Surfaces are not evenly spaced.
